Our Team

Our Team

  • Ryan Miller

    President/CEO

    Ryan received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State University in 2004. He went on serve as the Indiana Director for a collegiate missions organization. In 2016 he and his wife, Jana, moved to Marietta, OH to plant Local Church. His leadership led the church to become one of the largest in the mid-Ohio valley, but also showed him the pitfalls of the church planting journey. After living through the challenges of leading a growing church and getting stuck in too small a facility, he and Gregg Parris were inspired to cofound the 99 Network.

    Gregg pastored Union Chapel Ministries in Muncie, IN for 43 years and saw the church grow to thousands in attendance under his leadership. He spent the last 10 years of his time at Union Chapel raising millions of dollars so that churches could be launched around the country. His leadership led to the planting of 30 churches. He is a founding member of the 99 Network along with our CEO, Ryan Miller.
